Re: Lets give the engineers this shotgun!!!
Ya know how many shooting there's been in my city (largest in BC) this year?
3. Just 3. One involved a yank being shot with his own gun.
Canucks aren't under-armed, either. Per-capita, we've got more registered firearms than the US (odd but true). They're mostly sporting and target rifles, though.
Of the shottings across Canada involving unregistered firearms, 90% of the weapons used can be traced back the the US.
I've never felt the need to own a firearm for personal or household defence. When I'm walking through a bad part of town, I have a lenght of wieghted dog chain that serves me quite well. However, I own 3 firearms (a .22 target pistol, a .22 rifle (vintage it was my Dad's WWII era training rifle), and a shotty). I know 2 sources where I could pick up a hot glock for $150 and have it delivered to my home.
Key factor: We 'nucks just don't seem to hate eachother as much as some other countries do. We don't feel the need to blow eachother's brains out, even in the criminal communities.
I suspect the issue isn't about gun control, it's about social conditions.
